One Piece: Starting as a Marine Lieutenant, I Slack Off and Get Stronger

"Thanks, go have fun!"

"Gah! (*^▽^*)"

Upon unfolding the newspaper, Bucky's enormous red nose and arrogant smile immediately came into view, making Mihawk and Crocodile, standing next to him, seem like supporting characters.

However, when Carl saw the contents of the newspaper, he was immediately stunned.

Admiral Karl

Title: Admiral White Raven, Naval Hero.

Bounty: 100 billion Berries

Karl never expected that Buggy, who had just left the Seven Warlords of the Sea, would pull off such a big stunt by putting a bounty on the Marines instead of the Marines. He really went against them!

Carl took a deep breath, took out a Den Den Mushi from his system space, set it aside, and waited quietly.

Ten minutes later, the Den Den Mushi rang repeatedly.

"Did you see it?"

"I saw."

What's your opinion on this?

"The Cross Guild must be destroyed immediately as a warning to others. The Navy is not a place that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can mess with!"

"Kuzan, you and I should know better than anyone how terrifying the power of money is!"

Sitting in his office, Kuzan nodded. Yes! In the past two years, the Navy has been able to reduce the number of low-level pirates to 20% of what it used to be, all thanks to the power of money.

Regardless of whether the Cross Guild has the strength to pay the bounty, there will be no shortage of people on the high seas who want to see the Navy make a fool of itself, so the Navy has no choice but to take it seriously.

"You're right. I'm planning to have the intelligence department gather as much information as possible about the Cross Guild. Once we find their hideout, hmph..."

"Wait a minute, don't panic." Karl had a flash of inspiration and a bold idea came to his mind.

"what happened?"

The Cross Guild has indeed influenced the Navy, but if we look at it from a different perspective...

The Cross Guild may have been the prototype of the Adventurers' Guild.

Towards the stars and cough cough cough...

Chapter 332 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Hancock walked over, wearing a white bath towel.

"Look, there you go!"

Hancock took the newspaper from Carl and, after reading the news, was both amused and annoyed: "That Buggy guy is really asking for trouble. With the Navy's power so strong now, he still dares to show his face? Doesn't he know that Shanks is the only Yonko left?"

Karl shrugged: "Who knows what Buggy was thinking? But after all, he was once a member of the Pirate King Roger's crew, so it's not surprising that he did something like this."

"So, are you leaving?" Hancock looked at Carl with some concern. Since the Marineford War, she had gotten used to Carl's presence by her side. Recently, she and Carl had been separated for long periods of time, which was undoubtedly a torment for her.

Even though they are now "immortals," her greatest wish is to continue Karl's bloodline and experience what it's like to be a mother.

"Don't worry! It won't be that fast..."

Hancock breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, then... darling, shall we hurry?"

Carl took a deep breath, turned to look at Hancock, whose expression was quite alluring. Hancock smiled shyly, loosened her towel, and revealed her voluptuous body.

Holy Light! Give me your strength!

......

Two days later, Marineford.

"The Cross Guild's actions are undoubtedly a provocation against the Navy. Now that we know their headquarters are in Kalai Bali, I propose that we immediately send people to destroy the Cross Guild and send Buggy to Impel Down!" Akainu said to the high-ranking Navy officers present in an icy tone.

Many of the marines present agreed with Akainu's view.

Kuzan glanced at Sakazuki, then said, "Admiral Akainu is right. The Cross Guild's actions are challenging the Navy's bottom line."

"Two years ago, the Navy significantly increased the bounties for pirates. As we all know, the number of low-level pirates decreased dramatically, mid-level pirates were all on edge, and although high-level pirates were confident in dealing with bounty hunters, the Navy, with its freed-up forces, was able to take care of them."

"The power of money is terrifying!"

After saying this, Kuzan stood up: "Therefore, we must not let the Cross Guild open this Pandora's box, Admiral Karl, Admiral Kizaru."

"exist."

"Please proceed to Kalebali immediately to investigate the situation, but do not alert them. The main naval force will arrive shortly after."

The Navy's intelligence department had actually located the headquarters of the Cross Guild yesterday, but they didn't take action because they wanted to let the news spread so that they could crush the Cross Guild with lightning speed and let the world know that the Navy is the overlord of the seas and that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can mess with them.

Karl and the ape exchanged a glance. They were too fast; there was no way around it, only they could do this kind of work.

"Yes!"

Kuzan nodded slightly: "Gentlemen, let's prepare for war!"

"The Navy will prevail!!!"

Sakazuki gave Kuzan a deep look and forced a smile. He had originally thought... well, never mind, maybe people change after becoming a marshal!

He wanted to see just how far the Navy could go under Kuzan's leadership.

"Admiral Kizaru, have you always been like this?"

The ape was taken aback, then pouted playfully, "Hmm~ you mean, a mission like this?"

"Ah."

"As someone who's been there, let me give you some advice: speed isn't always a good thing. But your abilities are truly enviable! Could it be that the Holy Light Fruit is an upgraded version of the Glint-Glint Fruit?"

Karl chuckled: "How is that possible? The Glint-Glint Fruit is a Logia-type!"

Yuanzi curled his lip. "Nobody believes that. You can do what I can do, and you can do what I can't do. I might as well just retire."

"Let's go~"

shuh~

The ape vanished from its spot in an instant.

Kalai Bali.

Ape and Karl stood in the air, gazing at the island below. Ape stroked his chin and said, "Hmm, so this is the Cross Guild's lair? It looks pretty good."

"There are quite a lot of people. It seems they don't know that the Navy has already located their position."

Ape turned to look at Karl: "Tell me, is Bucky really that strong, or is he just a bully? People are saying that the Cross Guild has the power to become the Emperor of the Sea!"

"The old emperor falls and the new emperor ascends the throne. This is normal. Isn't the Straw Hat Boy the Emperor of the Sea now? Two years ago, you could kick one of them with one kick."

The ape-like creature pouted, looking rather pleased. Indeed, putting everything else aside, he was a man who could take down one of the Four Emperors with a single kick.

"Sigh~ I can't kick it anymore. I really don't understand the ocean now."

Carl waved his hand; "Alright, it's time to call for reinforcements."

An hour later, the main naval force arrived and scattered high in the sky above Bali.

At Kuzan's command, the warships slowly landed around Bali.

On Bali.

"Hey, why is it dark?"

"Holy crap!! That's a Navy warship!!! Quick, notify Boss Bucky, the Navy's here!!!"

"What? How did the Navy know we were here?"

At this point, the navy had formed an encirclement, completely blocking Bali, and no one could easily break through.

"Boss Bucky! Boss Bucky, something terrible has happened! The Navy is here!"

"What?! How could it be so fast?"

Bucky was shocked and jumped up from his seat.

How many navy personnel came?

"No, I don't know, maybe twenty or so warships?"

More than twenty warships....

Bucky's face immediately turned extremely ugly; now it would be difficult for him to escape!

"Go and find Crocodile and Mihawk!"

......

"Boom boom boom~"

Shells rained down on Bali like they were free, making a series of booming sounds. The scene was somewhat similar to the Buster Call, and the pirates on the island were immediately in trouble.

To be honest, the only ones the Cross Guild can really boast about are Crocodile and Mihawk; the rest are just lackeys, and cannonballs are enough to threaten their lives.
